I'm getting: "The code of method mTokens() is exceeding the 65535 bytes limit" The method is antlr generated, so I struggle to find any workaround. Perhaps I'm missing some magic JVM parameter setting? Aren't 16 bit integers relics of the past century?

Perhaps I'm missing some magic JVM parameter setting? Aren't 16 bit integers relics of the past century? It's a hard limit in Java, I'm afraid. No way around it (with current versions of Java) because it's a limit of the classfile format itself, rather than a limit of the Java compiler, or of the JVM. (Actually, the limit in the classfile is rather more complicated than that, and you can, structurally, have more than 64K bytes of bytecode per method, but there are various auxiliary structures in the classfile which do have a 64K limits.) -- chris Back to top Florian Weimer Guest Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 6:45 pm    Post subject: Re: 65535 bytes method code limit? * aloha kakuikanu: Quote: I'm getting: "The code of method mTokens() is exceeding the 65535 bytes limit" The method is antlr generated, so I struggle to find any workaround. Perhaps I'm missing some magic JVM parameter setting? Anything that compiles to class files in a straightforward way will hit this limit, as Chris explained. There are basically two workarounds: Use a compiler that synthesizes additional classes to work around the limit (I don't know if one exists), or a compiler that does not compile to class files, such as an earlier GCJ version. The latter approach might work if your intention is to get the code running. (Nowadays, GCJ uses class files as well.)
